Tank, with players new and old vying for the Warlord Trophy 2010!

avoid armies being tailored towards scenarios or opponents.

Post-Game:
After each game, all players must fill in the post-game report sheets handed out.
On this must be player A’s name, Player B’s name and both scores clearly labelled.
As well as this, it must include both Players Kill Points in that game.
This will then be used to calculate a KP Difference to separate ties in the league.
These sheets must then be emailed, handed to or text to Jamie.
A League table will then be drawn up and posted on the website as soon as possible.

Time Frame:
We have up until the AGM in the first week of April to play 6 games.
These will be an alternating fortnightly, so if you play in Week 1, you do not need to play
your next game until Week 3.
However, work and family permitting, players are free to arrange games to be played on the
“Off-Week” or Sunday and miss the game week, so long as the results are given to Jamie.
